Maybe it's time for NiP to scout new talents and train them thanks to Alex's experience ? | ||

Yeah, the traditional theory behind 1v5 was just to use a hard scaling ranged ADC to kill them all from a range 1v1 but now they group and push as a team after some time so you gotta take that inhib fast. | ||

The difference is that if you have to run from someone else, if you slow them people don't go as far and move slower so you can get more autos in and get less isolated than if running from Olaf. On the other hand Olaf's using his ult, when it's down he's a sitting duck. If you survive he can't even run way or, if you lead him away from the fight, regroup with his team. His Q is meh as a defensive cc. His W is useless if he's not in melee range to lifesteal. Pros are the most armed to deal with Olaf's ult since they aren't Gold scrubs unable to even conceive that using Lulu's or Orianna's W on your carries instead of him will let them dodge the axe and keep their distance. That Olaf does jack shit against poke because he can't even manmode the way Jax can E-flash-QE or dumb-Riven can E-flash-W into the enemy team. That if you can drag a fight or force his ult early he becomes weak as fuck, even worse than lategame Twitch with his ult on cd when a fight starts. 'cause remember that Olaf falls off late because he can't itemise properly (squishy if not built full tank, no damage anymore if he skips damage items) but also because lategame 6s doesn't mean squat when you aren't an assassin and as such his ult can be stalled out (unless there's like Sivir+Karma or Lulu in your team but then you'd rather play against that than Ziggs/Nidalee/LB or Lucian/Twitch/Kog anyway). There's a difference between "no counterplay" and "simple counterplay that people are too dumb to conceive" like non-cc based peeling. (Now try to "counterplay" Rengar when you need Exhaust or instant point'n'click cc (which is becoming more and more scarce in the game) to prevent him from instantly killing a guy even with 100 armour. And then you still have the whole job of killing him before he escapes.) The problem with Olaf was they took a champion that had a coherent kit, but was overtuned (plus in the perfect meta with perfect items yada yada yada), nerfed him, and declared the kit itself to be the problem. Then they created an incoherent kit that has a bunch of power that can't be utilized in AS steroids and Lifesteal. | ||

That being said, they handled Olaf terribly. They made him unplayable for almost a year because his axe slow decayed so quickly. He's not Lee Sin, he can't deal with that. And Lee Sin's cripple gave 20% more slow than Olaf's axes did. How screwed up is that? And then they slapped him with a 25% cooldown increase on his w, and got rid of a lot of his innate tankiness, while making a lot of items that were good on him cost more at the same time. And this was at a time when assassins made someone like Olaf who could be super tanky and deal lots of damage extremely, extremely good. They essentially destroyed Olaf to ram an assassin meta down our throats (+Renekton... sorry Olaf, no berserkers allowed). In the meantime the game evolved a lot- mobility became way more important, support mids with massive slow started getting played, etc. There's a lot more champions capable of making Olaf manageable than there used to be.The rework didn't really change a whole hell of a lot about the champion that couldn't have been done incrementally, they just seemed completely fine with "removing" the problem for an extended period of time. And that just sucked. I think the game could probably cope with an Olaf much closer to his peak strength now. In the meantime, I'm fine with playing him now because I don't really give a shit about how strong he is, he's still fun to play and not irredeemably weak in his current state. | ||

edit: Reason I'm asking is, I don't find any match ups unwinable - the ones that can survive/go equal you outscale anyway or offer more team utility with the AoE stun (which honestly is an ultimate on low CD). | ||

Now that Jax is more popular, I can kind of see Veigar being better - especially when nowadays Jax always builds teo damage items. Veigar still needs to compete with Syndra - and possibly Mordekaiser too - as the anti-Jax mid laner. | ||

Zed who gets a hexdrinker is an unwinnable matchup A good Syndra will stomp you hard in lane, though if you can get through it your pretty good vs her mid-lategame. Leblanc is scary too. Stuff like Nocturne is really hard to play against. Also, a good support with micaels, +everyone getting banshess lategame makes your life miserable. He can be very very good in soloq, its just there are counters to him. If your duoing with a jungle though, it's REALLY easy to get fed off midlane. He is also really feast or famine, so get used to either getting stomped or getting fed, there's not much space in between for him. | ||

There are a couple challenger level veiger. Nyjacky and dabox. Veigar still vulnerable to being caught out by shit like rengar, and can be dove on easily if you bait out his stun. He doesn't roam well, nor does he waveclear as fast as current meta counterparts. His short range and low mobility usually leaves him to only spam abilities on frontliners (unless he has flash up). Banshees is overwhelmingly the popular mr choice, also leaving him a sad sad yordle when it comes to late game. That being said. He's got some sick damages. | ||

Veigar's probably one of the few APs that can reverse one shot Rengar if he fails though. | ||
